After being picked up from our accommodation at approximately 10:00 hrs. we head to the suburbs of Havana where we make a stop at Finca Vigía, the former Cuban home of the legendary writer and resident of Havana, Ernest Hemingway. The beautiful mansion house remains untouched since he left expecting to return! The tour covers the gardens and allows us to look into the rooms from outside. We continue to the village of Cojímar, the setting for Hemingway?s world famous book ?The Old Man and the Sea? and after a short orientation walk we will enjoy lunch in the village.
We continue along the coastal Via Blanca road stopping at Bacunayagua Bridge, Cuba?s tallest and with fantastic views of the Yumurí Valley far below. You could try the fabulous Piña Colada?s here, freshly made with real local pineapples and if you want a big dash of rum!
After lunch, Matanzas city, Cuba?s Venice is the next stop and we will tour this pleasant colonial town overlooking Cuba?s largest bay and in the late afternoon we arrive into Varadero resort and you will be dropped off at the hotel of your choice at approximately 16 00 hrs. Just in time to check in!
